FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to heterocyclic amides that inhibit RIP1 kinase and methods of making and using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Receptor-interacting protein-1 (RIP1) kinase, originally referred to as RIP, is a TKL family serine/threonine protein kinase involved in innate immune signaling. RIP1 kinase is a RHIM domain containing protein, with an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal death domain ((2005) Trends Biochem. Sci. 30, 151-159). The death domain of RIP1 mediates interaction with other death domain containing proteins including Fas and TNFR-1 ((1995) Cell 81 513-523), TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 ((1997) Immunity 7, 821-830) and TRADD ((1996) Immunity 4, 387-396), while the RHIM domain is crucial for binding other RHIM domain containing proteins such as TRIF ((2004) Nat Immunol. 5, 503-507), DAI ((2009) EMBO Rep. 10, 916-922) and RIP3 ((1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 16871-16875); (1999) Curr. Biol. 9, 539-542) and exerts many of its effects through these interactions. RIP1 is a central regulator of cell signaling and is involved in mediating both pro-survival and programmed cell death pathways which will be discussed below.

The role for RIP1 in cell signaling has been assessed under various conditions [including TLR3 ((2004) Nat Immunol. 5, 503-507), TLR4 ((2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 36560-36566), TRAIL ((2012) J. Virol. Epub, ahead of print), FAS ((2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 7925-7933)], but is best understood in the context of mediating signals downstream of the death receptor TNFR1 ((2003) Cell 114, 181-190). Engagement of the TNFR by TNF leads to its oligomerization, and the recruitment of multiple proteins, including linear K63-linked polyubiquitinated RIP1 ((2006) Mol. Cell 22, 245-257), TRAF2/5 ((2010) J. Mol. Biol. 396, 528-539), TRADD ((2008) Nat. Immunol. 9, 1037-1046) and cIAPs ((2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 105, 11778-11783), to the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. This complex which is dependent on RIP1 as a scaffolding protein (i.e. kinase independent), termed complex I, provides a platform for pro-survival signaling through the activation of the NFκB and MAP kinases pathways ((2010) Sci. Signal. 115, re4). Alternatively, binding of TNF to its receptor under conditions promoting the deubiquitination of RIP1 (by proteins such as A20 and CYLD or inhibition of the cIAPs) results in receptor internalization and the formation of complex II or DISC (death-inducing signaling complex) ((2011) Cell Death Dis. 2, e230). Formation of the DISC, which contains RIP1, TRADD, FADD and caspase 8, results in the activation of caspase 8 and the onset of programmed apoptotic cell death also in a RIP1 kinase independent fashion ((2012) FEBS J 278, 877-887). Apoptosis is largely a quiescent form of cell death and is involved in routine processes such as development and cellular homeostasis.

Under conditions where the DISC forms and RIP3 is expressed, but apoptosis is inhibited (such as FADD/caspase 8 deletion, caspase inhibition or viral infection), a third RIP1 kinase-dependent possibility exists. RIP3 can now enter this complex, become phosphorylated by RIP1 and initiate a caspase-independent programmed necrotic cell death through the activation of MLKL and PGAM5 ((2012) Cell 148, 213-227); ((2012) Cell 148, 228-243); ((2012) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 109, 5322-5327). As opposed to apoptosis, programmed necrosis (not to be confused with passive necrosis which is not programmed) results in the release of danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from the cell. These DAMPs are capable of providing a “danger signal” to surrounding cells and tissues, eliciting proinflammatory responses including inflammasome activation, cytokine production and cellular recruitment ((2008 Nat. Rev. Immunol 8, 279-289).

Dysregulation of RIP1 kinase-mediated programmed cell death has been linked to various inflammatory diseases, as demonstrated by use of the RIP3 knockout mouse (where RIP1-mediated programmed necrosis is completely blocked) and by Necrostatin-1 (a tool inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activity with poor oral bioavailability). The RIP3 knockout mouse has been shown to be protective in inflammatory bowel disease (including Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) ((2011) Nature 477, 330-334), Psoriasis ((2011) Immunity 35, 572-582), retinal-detachment-induced photoreceptor necrosis ((2010) PNAS 107, 21695-21700), retinitis pigmentosa ((2012) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 109:36, 14598-14603), cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis ((2009) Cell 137, 1100-1111) and Sepsis/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) ((2011) Immunity 35, 908-918). Necrostatin-1 has been shown to be effective in alleviating ischemic brain injury ((2005) Nat. Chem. Biol. 1, 112-119), retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury ((2010) J. Neurosci. Res. 88, 1569-1576), Huntington's disease ((2011) Cell Death Dis. 2 el 15), renal ischemia reperfusion injury ((2012) Kidney Int. 81, 751-761), cisplatin induced kidney injury ((2012) Ren. Fail. 34, 373-377) and traumatic brain injury ((2012) Neurochem. Res. 37, 1849-1858). Other diseases or disorders regulated at least in part by RIP1-dependent apoptosis, necrosis or cytokine production include hematological and solid organ malignancies ((2013) Genes Dev. 27: 1640-1649), bacterial infections and viral infections ((2014) Cell Host & Microbe 15, 23-35) (including, but not limited to, tuberculosis and influenza ((2013) Cell 153, 1-14)) and Lysosomal storage diseases (particularly, Gaucher Disease, Nature Medicine Advance Online Publication, 19 Jan. 2014, doi: 10.1038/nm.3449).

A potent, selective, small molecule inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activity would block RIP1-dependent cellular necrosis and thereby provide a therapeutic benefit in diseases or events associated with DAMPs, cell death, and/or inflammation.

The alternative definitions for the various groups and substituent groups of Formula (I) provided throughout the specification are intended to particularly describe each compound species disclosed herein, individually, as well as groups of one or more compound species. The scope of this invention includes any combination of these group and substituent group definitions. The compounds of the invention are only those which are contemplated to be “chemically stable” as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.

As used herein, the term “alkyl” represents a saturated, straight or branched hydrocarbon group having the specified number of carbon atoms.

Exemplary alkyls include, but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, s-butyl, and t-butyl.

When a substituent term such as “alkyl” is used in combination with another substituent term, for example as in “hydroxy(C₁-C₄)alkyl” or “aryl(C₁-C₄)alkyl”, the linking substituent term (e.g., alkyl) is intended to encompass a divalent moiety, wherein the point of attachment is through that linking substituent. Examples of “aryl(C₁-C₄)alkyl” groups include, but are not limited to, benzyl (phenylmethyl), 1-methylbenzyl (1-phenylethyl), and phenethyl (2-phenylethyl).

In another specific embodiment, this invention is directed to a compound of Formula (I) wherein X is O or CH₂; Y is CH₂; Z¹, Z², and Z⁴ are each CH and Z³ is CR³; or Z¹, Z³, and Z⁴ are each CH and Z² is CR²; or Z¹, Z², and Z³ are each CH and Z⁴ is CR⁴; or Z¹ and Z³ are CH, Z² is CR², and Z⁴ is CR⁴; R² is fluoro, chloro, bromo, or —CH₃; R³ is 5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl; R⁴ is fluoro; R⁵ is H or methyl; A is triazolyl; m is 0; L is CH₂; and B is cyclopentyl or phenyl; or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The compounds of this invention contain one or more asymmetric centers (also referred to as a chiral center), such as a chiral carbon, or a chiral —SO— moiety. The stereochemistry of the chiral carbon center present in compounds of this invention is generally represented in the compound names and/or in the chemical structures illustrated herein. Compounds of this invention containing one or more chiral centers may be present as racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, diastereomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically or diastereomerically pure individual stereoisomers.

Individual stereoisomers of a compound of this invention may be resolved (or mixtures of stereoisomers may be enriched) using methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.

The invention also includes various deuterated forms of the compounds of this invention, a specific example of which is N-[(3S)-7-deuterio-1-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-3-yl]-5-(phenylmethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide. Each available hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom may be independently replaced with a deuterium atom. A person of ordinary skill in the art will know how to synthesize deuterated forms of the compounds of this invention. For example, α-deuterated α-amino acids are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional techniques (see for example: Elemes, Y. and Ragnarsson, U. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 1996, 6, 537-40).

Employing such compounds may allow for the preparation of compounds in which the hydrogen atom at a chiral center is replaced with a deuterium atom. Other commercially available deuterated starting materials may be employed in the preparation of deuterated analogs of the compounds of this invention (see for example: methyl-d3-amine available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.), or they may be synthesized using conventional techniques employing deuterated reagents (e.g. by reduction using lithium aluminum deuteride or sodium borodeuteride or by metal-halogen exchange followed by quenching with D₂O or methanol-d₃).

The skilled artisan will appreciate that solvates (particularly, hydrates) of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), including solvates of salts of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), may be formed when solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric salt and/or hydrate forms.

When a disclosed compound or its salt is named or depicted by structure, it is to be understood that the compound or salt, including solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, may exist in crystalline forms, non-crystalline forms or a mixture thereof. The compound or salt, or solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, may also exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline forms). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” It is to be understood that when named or depicted by structure, the disclosed compound, or solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, also include all polymorphs thereof. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the conditions used in crystallizing/recrystallizing the compound. It is well known and understood to those skilled in the art that the apparatus employed, humidity, temperature, orientation of the powder crystals, and other parameters involved in obtaining a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern may cause some variability in the appearance, intensities, and positions of the lines in the diffraction pattern. A powder X-ray diffraction pattern that is “substantially in accordance” with that of the Figure provided herein is a PXRD pattern that would be considered by one skilled in the art to represent a compound possessing the same crystal form as the compound that provided the PXRD pattern of the Figure. For example, the PXRD pattern may be identical to that of FIG. 7, or more likely it may be somewhat different. Such a PXRD pattern may not necessarily show each of the lines of the diffraction patterns presented herein, and/or may show a slight change in appearance, intensity, or a shift in position of said lines resulting from differences in the conditions involved in obtaining the data. A person skilled in the art is capable of determining if a sample of a crystalline compound has the same form as, or a different form from, a form disclosed herein by comparison of their PXRD patterns. For example, one skilled in the art can overlay a PXRD pattern of a sample of a crystalline form of anhydrous (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) with the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7, and using expertise and knowledge in the art, readily determine whether the PXRD pattern of the sample is substantially in accordance with the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7. If the PXRD pattern is substantially in accordance with FIG. 7, the sample form can be readily and accurately identified as having the same form as the crystalline form of anhydrous (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) described herein. Similarly, a person skilled in the art is capable of determining if a given diffraction angle (expressed in ° 20) obtained from a PXRD pattern is at about the same position as a recited value.

Because of their potential use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can include acid or base addition salts.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means a compound which is suitable for pharmaceutical use. Salts and solvates (e.g. hydrates and hydrates of salts) of the compounds of the invention which are suitable for use in medicine are those wherein the counterion or associated solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable. Salts and solvates having non-pharmaceutically acceptable counterions or associated solvents are within the scope of the present invention, for example, for use as intermediates in the preparation of other compounds of the invention and their salts and solvates.

Salts may be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV). If a basic compound of Formula (I-IV) is isolated as a salt, the corresponding free base form of that compound may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic base, suitably an inorganic or organic base having a higher pKa than the free base form of the compound. Similarly, if a disclosed compound containing a carboxylic acid or other acidic functional group is isolated as a salt, the corresponding free acid form of that compound may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic acid, suitably an inorganic or organic acid having a lower pKa than the free acid form of the compound. This invention also provides for the conversion of one salt of a compound of this invention, e.g., a hydrochloride salt, into another salt of a compound of this invention, e.g., a sulfate salt.

Salts of the compounds of Formula (I), particularly compounds of Formulas (I-IV), containing a basic amine or other basic functional group may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, such as treatment of the free base with an acid. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts so formed include acetate, adipate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, camphorate, camphor-sulfonate (camsylate), caprate (decanoate), caproate (hexanoate), caprylate (octanoate), carbonate, bicarbonate, cinnamate, citrate, cyclamate, dodecylsulfate (estolate), ethane-1,2-disulfonate (edisylate), ethanesulfonate (esylate), formate, fumarate, galactarate (mucate), gentisate (2,5-dihydroxybenzoate), glucoheptonate (gluceptate), gluconate, glucuronate, glutamate, glutarate, glycerophosphorate, glycolate, hippurate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, isobutyrate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, maleate, malate, malonate, mandelate, methanesulfonate (mesylate), naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate (napadisylate), naphthalene-sulfonate (napsylate), nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate, diphosphate, proprionate, pyroglutamate, salicylate, sebacate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate (tosylate), undecylenate, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, 2,2-dichloroacetate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate (isethionate), 2-oxoglutarate, 4-acetamidobenzoate, and 4-aminosalicylate.

Salts of the disclosed compounds containing a carboxylic acid or other acidic functional group can be prepared by reacting with a suitable base. Such a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be made with a base which affords a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, which includes alkali metal salts (especially sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal salts (especially calcium and magnesium), aluminum salts and ammonium salts, as well as salts made from physiologically acceptable organic bases such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, morpholine, pyridine, piperidine, picoline, dicyclohexylamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tri-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, procaine, dibenzylpiperidine, dehydroabietylamine, N,N′-bisdehydroabietylamine, glucamine, N-methylglucamine, collidine, choline, quinine, quinoline, and basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable base-addition salt of a compound of Formula (I) is a sodium salt or a potassium salt thereof.

Because the compounds of this invention are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions it will readily be understood that they are each preferably provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least 75% pure and preferably at least 85%, especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight for weight basis). Impure preparations of the compounds may be used for preparing the more pure forms used in the pharmaceutical compositions.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of this invention may be prepared using synthetic procedures illustrated in the Schemes below or by drawing on the knowledge of a skilled organic chemist. The synthesis provided in these Schemes are applicable for producing compounds of the invention having a variety of different R groups employing appropriate precursors, which are suitably protected if needed, to achieve compatibility with the reactions outlined herein. Subsequent deprotection, where needed, affords compounds of the nature generally disclosed. While the Schemes are shown with compounds only of Formulas (I-IV), they are illustrative of processes that may be used to make the compounds of the invention.

Intermediates (compounds used in the preparation of the compounds of the invention) may also be present as salts. Thus, in reference to intermediates, the phrase “compound(s) of formula (number)” means a compound having that structural formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

(S)—N-(4-Oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)carboxamides may be prepared via the general method outlined in Scheme 1. Boc-L-serine can be condensed with an appropriate substituted 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene with a base, followed by reduction of the nitro group to the amine and cyclisation to the Boc protected (S)-3-amino-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-4(5H)-one using an amide coupling agent.

If the chloride is not removed, then this sequence can be repeated to yield the corresponding (S)—N-(4-chloro-5-methyl-6-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido [4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)carboxamides (Scheme 4, R═C₁).

(S)—N-(2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl) carboxamides may be prepared via the general method outlined in Scheme 5.

A racemization/resolution of the α-aminobenzlactam can be accomplished using L-pyroglutamic acid and 5-nirosalicylaldehyde to yield the (S)-3-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-2(3H)-one as described by Armstrong et. al. in Tetrahedron Letters 1994, pages 3239-42. This amine can then be coupled to the appropriate acid using an amide coupling agent.

The resulting free amine can be coupled to the appropriate acid using an amide coupling agent.

The resulting ethyl 2-amino-2-(2-substituted hydrazono)acetate is then heated neat or in a high boiling solvent such as xylenes resulting in cyclization to the 5-substituted-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic ethyl ester. This can then by hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example lithium hydroxide in THF and water.

This can then by hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example lithium hydroxide in THF and water.

5-Methyl-1-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids can be prepared following the route shown in Scheme 8. Ethyl 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate is alkylated in the presence of a base such as potassium hydroxide with the appropriate alkylating agent, such as an alkyl or arylbromide, to give a mixture of desired ethyl 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate and undesired regioisomer ethyl 3-methyl-1-substituted-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate ethyl oxalate. The ethyl 5-methyl-1-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates can be isolated using chromatography and then hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example lithium hydroxide in THF and water to yield 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids.

A therapeutically “effective amount” is intended to mean that amount of a compound that, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined herein. Thus, e.g., a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a quantity of an inventive agent that, when administered to a human in need thereof, is sufficient to modulate and/or inhibit the activity of RIP1 kinase such that a disease condition which is mediated by that activity is reduced, alleviated or prevented. The amount of a given compound that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound (e.g., the potency (pIC₅₀), efficacy (EC₅₀), and the biological half-life of the particular compound), disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., age, size and weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. Likewise, the duration of treatment and the time period of administration (time period between dosages and the timing of the dosages, e.g., before/with/after meals) of the compound will vary according to the identity of the mammal in need of treatment (e.g., weight), the particular compound and its properties (e.g., pharmacokinetic properties), disease or disorder and its severity and the specific composition and method being used, but can nevertheless be determined by one of skill in the art.

“Treating” or “treatment” is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease or disorder in a patient. The methods of treatment for mitigation of a disease or disorder include the use of the compounds in this invention in any conventionally acceptable manner, for example for prevention, retardation, prophylaxis, therapy or cure of a RIP1 kinase-mediated disease or disorder, as described hereinabove.

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic administration and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration, transdermal administration, rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is typically by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the patient's lungs whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration includes application to the skin.

The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a dosing regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of time for a given period of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day. Doses may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or indefinitely to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the invention depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing regimens, including the duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention depend on the disease or disorder being treated, the severity of the disease or disorder being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the medical history of the patient to be treated, the nature of concurrent therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that suitable dosing regimens may require adjustment given an individual patient's response to the dosing regimen or over time as individual patient needs change. Total daily dosages range from 1 mg to 2000 mg, preferably, total daily dosages range from 1 mg to 250 mg.

For use in therapy, the compounds of the invention will be normally, but not necessarily, formulated into a pharmaceutical composition prior to administration to a patient. Accordingly, the invention also is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

In one embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base), and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystalline (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) having the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7 and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystalline (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) characterized by the diffraction data in Table 1, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In one embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising (S)-5-benzyl-N-(7-chloro-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising (S)-5-benzyl-N-(7-chloro-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein an effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders, syrups, and solutions for injection. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form. For oral application, for example, one or more tablets or capsules may be administered. A dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this invention (i.e., a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof). When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of this invention.

As provided herein, unit dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) containing from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of the invention may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day, preferably one, two, or three times per day, and more preferably, one or two times per day, to effect treatment of a RIP1 kinase-mediated disease or disorder.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain one compound of the invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain more than one compound of the invention. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may optionally further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically acceptable.

The compounds of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or excipients will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration to the patient by the desired route of administration. Conventional dosage forms include those adapted for (1) oral administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal administration such as transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5) inhalation such as aerosols and solutions; and (6) topical administration such as creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For example, certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anti-caking agents, humectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.

Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press).

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are prepared using techniques and methods known to those skilled in the art. Some of the methods commonly used in the art are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company).

Accordingly, another embodiment of this invention is a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising the step of admixing crystalline (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) having the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7 with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment, there is provided a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising the step of admixing crystalline (S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (free base) characterized by the diffraction data in Table 1, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

In one aspect, the invention is directed to a solid oral dosage form such as a tablet or capsule comprising an effective amount of a compound of the invention and a diluent or filler. Suitable diluents and fillers include lactose, sucrose, dextrose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose), calcium sulfate, and dibasic calcium phosphate. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a binder. Suitable binders include starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, tragacanth, guar gum, povidone, and cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose). The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant. Suitable disintegrants include crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmelose, alginic acid, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

Example 161 (S)-5-benzyl-N-(7-chloro-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide

Preparation 1: The title compound was prepared via coupling of the appropriate amine and acid using Method H.

Preparation 2: To a solution of (S)-3-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-2(3H)-one (50 g, 284 mmol), 5-benzyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid (72.1 g, 355 mmol) in dichloromethane (1500 ml) was added DIPEA (173 ml, 993 mmol) at 15° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes and 2,4,6-tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide (236 ml, 397 mmol) was slowly added at 15° C. The reaction was stirred for over night. The resulting solid was filtered and the solid was washed with DCM. The solid was dried under vacuum at 50° C. for over night. For the filtration, it was concentrated under rotary-evaporator and to the sticky residue added plenty of cold water and stirring, the slowly precipitated white solid was collected and washed the solid with water and ethyl ether. The solid was dried under vacuum at 50° C. for 3 days to afford the product (S)-5-benzyl-N-(2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (Total recovery: 102 g, 282 mmol, 99% yield). ¹H NMR (MeOH-d4) δ: 7.18-7.48 (m, 8H), 7.10 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (m, 1H), 4.17 (s, 2H), 2.97 (m 1H), 2.77 (m, 1H), 2.67 (m, 1H), 2.23 (m, 1H).

After 30 mins, the reaction mixture was warmed up to RT and continued stirring for 5 hrs. A second portion of NCS (3.88 g, 29.1 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring continued for an additional 24 hrs. A third portion of NCS (1.293 g, 9.68 mmol) was then added and the solution was stirred at RT for 16 h further. The reaction was then quenched with cold water. The white solid was collected by filtration and washed with water 3 times to provide (S)-5-benzyl-N-(7-chloro-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (36 g, 91 mmol, 94% yield). The product was air dried overnight. Additional purification was achieved by suspending (S)-5-benzyl-N-(7-chloro-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (10 g, 25.3 mmol) in hot methanol (500 mL) for 1 h. The solution was then cooled to RT, filtered and the solid was washed with methanol 2 times (75 mL) to give the product (7 g, 70% yield). ¹H NMR (DMSO-d₆) δ: 10.06 (s, 1H), 8.31 (br. s., 1H), 7.44 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.18-7.40 (m, 7H), 7.05 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.32 (dt, J=11.5, 7.9 Hz, 1H), 4.11 (s, 2H), 2.63-2.80 (m, 2H), 2.37-2.49 (m, 1H), 2.25 (br. s., 1H).

Biological In Vitro Assay

A fluorescent polarization based binding assay was developed to quantitate interaction of novel test compounds at the ATP binding pocket of RIP1, by competition with a fluorescently labeled ATP competitive ligand. GST-RipK1(1-375) was purified from a Baculovirus expression system and was used at a final assay concentration of 10 nM. A fluorescent labeled ligand (14-(2-{[3-({2-{[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]amino}-6-[(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]-4-pyrimidinyl}amino)propyl]amino}-2-oxoethyl)-16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo[2″,3″ ]indolizino[8″,7″:5′,6′]pyrano[3′,2′: 3,4]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-5-ium-2-sulfonate (prepared as described below) was used at a final assay concentration of 5 nM. Both the enzyme and ligand were prepared in solutions in 50 mM HEPES pH7.5, 10 mM NaCl, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM DTT, and 0.02% CHAPS. Test compounds were prepared in neat DMSO and 100 nL was dispensed to individual wells of a multiwell plate. Next, 5 ul GST-RipK1(1-375) was added to the test compounds at twice the final assay concentration, and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Following the incubation, 5 ul of the fluorescent labeled ligand solution, was added to each reaction, at twice the final assay concentration, and incubated at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Finally, samples were read on an instrument capable of measuring fluorescent polarization. Test compound inhibition was expressed as percent (%) inhibition of internal assay controls. For concentration response experiments, normalized data were fit and pIC₅₀s determined using conventional techniques. The pIC₅₀s are averaged to determine a mean value, for a minimum of 2 experiments.

As determined using the above method, the compounds of Examples 1-286 exhibited a pIC₅₀ between approximately 5.0 and 9.0. For instance, the compounds of Examples 12, 91, 102, 161, 163 and 169 inhibited RIP1 kinase in the above method with a mean pIC₅₀ of approximately 7.6, 7.6, 7.8, 7.9, 7.9 and 7.2 respectively. Continued testing resulted in a slight change in the reported average pIC₅₀ for these compounds (Example 161 (7.7) and Example 169 (7.3)).

Preparation of (14-(2-{[3-({2-{[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]amino}-6-[(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]-4-pyrimidinyl}amino)propyl]amino}-2-oxoethyl)-16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo[2″,3″ ]indolizino[8″,7″:5′,6′]pyrano[3′,2′:3,4] pyrido[1,2-a]indol-5-ium-2-sulfonate

A solution of 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine (Alfa, 12.25 g, 66.8 mmol), 3-amino-5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazole (Fluorochem 8.23 g, 66.8 mmol) and triethylamine (11.2 mL, 80.4 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours under Ar (balloon). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude material was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered and evaporated to give a beige solid. Pure product was obtained as a white crystalline solid after recrystallisation from acetonitrile. It was possible to obtain a second crop. From two runs performed under the same conditions, 29.0 g (88%) of 2,6-dichloro-N-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine. The product contained ˜10% acetonitrile but was carried through to the next step regardless.

A suspension of (5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-(2,6-dichloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-amine (25.8 g, 0.1 mol) and 4-aminophenylacetonitrile (Alfa, 13.91 g, 0.11 mol) in diisopropylethylamine (Alfa, 342 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for 16 hours under Ar (balloon). The resultant gummy suspension was dissolved in DCM, washed with water and dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered and concentrated. When the DCM was reduced to a small volume the material was left to stand and the product dropped out of solution. After filtration and washing with DCM, formation of 2-(4-((4-chloro-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetonitrile was obtained as a beige powder (10.6 g, 30.3%).

A mixture of {4-[4-chloro-6-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)-pyrimidin-2-ylamino]-phenyl}-acetonitrile (1.54 g, 4.2 mmol) and tert-butyl N-(2-aminopropyl)carbamate (Aldrich, 2.20 g, 12.6 mmol, 3.0 eq) were heated at 115° C. for 16 hours under Ar (balloon). The resultant glassy solid was purified by column chromatography (at least 25 cm depth of silica, eluent=DCM→5% MeOH in DCM). Recovered starting material is the first yellow band to elute from the column (eluent ˜2% MeOH in DCM) and the product elutes when the second yellow band has moved through the column (eluent 4% MeOH in DCM). A purple band elutes once almost all the product has eluted. A good eluent for TLC analysis of the fractions is 1:1 EtOAc/Pet. Ether. The initial fractions of the product are contaminated with a trace of higher Rf material whereas the final fractions of product contain traces of a lower Rf material. Therefore only the middle product fractions were combined. tert-Butyl (3-((2-((4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl)amino)-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)propyl)carbamate was obtained as a yellow foam (0.7 g, 33.0%).

tert-Butyl (3-((2-((4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl)amino)-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)propyl)carbamate (20 mg, 0.040 mmol) was dissolved in an ice-cold solution of water (0.1 mL) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (1.9 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and left for a total of 2 hours. Excess acid was removed under reduced pressure and the oily residue triturated with several portions of dry ether. The residual solid was dried under reduced pressure. MS (m/z) 403 (M+H⁺). Analytical C18 HPLC showed only one major component. Yield of 2-(4-((4-((3-aminopropyl)amino)-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetonitrile estimated at approximately 98%.

2-(4-((4-((3-Aminopropyl)amino)-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetonitrile trifluoroacetic acid salt (3.2 mg, 6.18 mol) and 14-{2-[(2,5-dioxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)oxy]-2-oxoethyl}-16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo[2″,3″]indolizino[8″,7″: 5′,6′]pyrano[3′,2′:3,4]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-5-ium-2-sulfonate trifluoroacetic acid salt (2.6 mg, 3.37 μmol) were placed in a 2 ml Eppendorf tube and DMF (200 μl) added. The mixture was stirred till all solid had dissolved and then the mixture was basified by the addition of DIPEA (2 μl, 0.011 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and redissolved in DMSO/MeOH (<1 ml), filtered (0.2 μm) and applied to a Phenomenex Jupiter C18 preparative column and eluted with the following gradient (A=0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water, B=0.1% TFA/90% acetonitrile/10% water): Flow rate=10 ml/min., AU=20/10 (214 nm). The target component was eluted in two fractions. Both fractions were combined and evaporated to dryness to yield 1.4 mg of 14-(2-{[3-({2-{[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]amino}-6-[(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]-4-pyrimidinyl}amino)propyl]amino}-2-oxoethyl)-16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo[2″,3″ ]indolizino[8″,7″: 5′,6′]pyrano[3′,2′:3,4]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-5-ium-2-sulfonate.

GST-RipK1 Preparation: His.GST.TEV.RIPK1 1-375

The RIPK1 gene [receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase 1] was cloned from human adrenal gland cDNA. Primers were designed from the reference sequence NM_003804.3 with an added CACC Kozak directional tag for cloning into pENTR/TEV/D-TOPO. Gateway® LR cloning was used to site-specifically recombine RIPK1 downstream to an N-terminal HisGST contained within the destination vector pDEST8-His.GST according to the protocol described by Invitrogen. A stop codon was inserted after amino acid 375 using Quikchange Stratagene mutagenesis kit according to manufacturer's protocol and resulted in pDEST8.His.GST.TEV.human RIPK1 1-375. His.GST.Tev.human RIPK1 1-375 baculovirus was generated using the bac to bac system (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's specifications. Transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9) insect cells was performed using Fugene 6 (Roche), according to the manufacturer's protocol. His.GST.TEV.human RIPK1 1-375 baculovirus infected insect cells (BIICs) were prepared during the baculovirus generation according to David Wasilko and S Edward Lee, TIPS: Titerless Infected Cells Preservation and Scale up, BioProcessing Journal Fall 2006 p 29-32. 20 L Sf9 cells were grown in serum free Hyclone, SFX media (HyClone Laboratories, 925 West 1800 South Logan, Utah 84321) at 27° C. in wave bags seeded at a density of 8×10{circumflex over ( )}6 cell/ml with a rock rate of 25 rpm, airflow of 0.18 to 0.22. in wave reactor (WAVE Bioreactor, System 20/50EH). Cells were grown ON at 27 C. His.GST.TEV.human RIPK1 1-375 baculovirus infected insect cells (BIICs) were used to infect Sf9s at a cell density of 1.7 to 2.4×10{circumflex over ( )}6. 2 ml of BIIC (1×10{circumflex over ( )}7 cells/mL) were added to 20 L cells. Rock rate is increased to 25 rom at infection. Harvest 72 hrs post infection using the Viafuge. Weigh pellets, seal wave bags and freeze at −80.

A 50 g cell pellet was re-suspended in 250 ml lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 250 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT and Complete Protease Inhibitor tablets (1/50 ml, from Roche Diagnostics). The cells were lysed by sonication on ice, 3×30″ at power level 4 using the large probe on a Branson Sonicator. The suspension was then clarified by centrifugation at 15,000 g for 30 minutes, at 4° C. The lysate was decanted from the insoluble pellet and batch bound to 10 ml of Glutathione Agarose (Pierce) for 2 h at 4 C with gentle end over end rotation. The beads were then packed into a column and washed to baseline with lysis buffer (no protease inhibitors) and then eluted with 20 mM reduced glutathione in 50 mM Tris, pH8.

Fractions identified by SDS-PAGE as containing protein of interest were pooled (10 ml total volume), concentrated to about 5 ml and loaded onto a 300 ml SDX200 SEC column (GE Healthcare) which had been equilibrated in 50 mM Tris, pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT and 10% Glycerol. The Rip1 protein eluted as a dimer off the SEC column.

The protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay using BSA as a standard. The yield was 12.5 mg at 0.63 mg/ml. The purity was >95% as determined by scanning a Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE gel.

LCMS analysis showed that the major species had lost the N-terminal methionine, was acetylated and had one phosphorylated site. The protein was aliquoted and frozen at −80° C. for use as needed.

Biological In Vivo Assay

The efficacy of RIP1 inhibitors can be tested in mice in vivo using a TNF-driven systemic inflammatory response syndrome model (Duprez, L., et al. 2011. Immunity 35(6):908-918). The model can be run in a long modality (using TNF alone i.v.) which results in the termination of the study in ˜7 hrs (under IACUC guidelines for temperature loss) or a short modality (using TNF plus the caspase inhibitor zVAD i.v.) which needs to be terminated at ˜3 hrs (under IACUC guidelines for temperature loss). TNF (or TNF/zVAD) induced manifestations include temperature loss, the production of numerous cytokines (including IL-6, IL-1b, MIP1β and MIP2) in the periphery, liver and intestinal inflammation and an increase of markers of cellular (LDH and CK) and liver damage (AST and ALT) in the serum. Inhibition of these TNF (or TNF/zVAD) induced manifestations can be shown by orally or IP pre-dosing with selected compounds of this invention.

Each test compound is run through the TNF/zVAD and TNF (alone) versions of the model. For example, mice (7 mice per group) were orally pre-dosed with vehicle or test compound at 50 mg/kg 15 minutes before i.v. administration of mouse TNF (30 g/mouse) and zVAD (0.4 mg/mouse) simultaneously. Temperature loss in the mice was measured by rectal probe. The study was terminated when the control group lost 7 degrees, per our IACUC protocol. Representative data expressed over time or at the 2.5 hour time point is provided in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 4A and 4B, respectively. All data are shown as means±standard error of the mean. Data for compounds tested in this model are provided in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Example No. Dose (mg/kg) % Inhibition 12 30 93 20 30 52 45 10 91 64 30 62 125 30 25 108 30 56 161 50 85 163 10 73 176 30 34 190 30 85 97 30 70 235 30 58 236 30 23

In addition to the TNF/zVAD model, each compound is also tested in a TNF alone model. For the TNF (alone) version of the model, mice (7 mice per group) were orally pre-dosed with vehicle or test compound at 50 mg/kg 15 minutes before i.v. administration of mouse TNF (30 g/mouse). An example of the TNF (alone) model over time and at the 6 hour time point can be seen in FIGS. 2A, 2B, 5A and 5B, respectively. All data are shown as means±standard error of the mean. Data for compounds tested in this model are provided in Table 3.

The efficacy of RIP1 inhibitors can be tested in mice in vitro using a human monocytic leukemia U937 or mouse L929 fibrosarcoma cells in a necroptosis assay (He, S. et al. 2009. Cell 137(6):1100-1111). Cells were maintained in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin. For the assay, cells were suspended at 5e5 cells/ml in phenol red free RPMI supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin. Thirty-five (35) ul of the cell suspension was aliquotted into a white, half area assay plate. Five (5) ul each of QVD (final concentration 50 uM) or compound was added to the cells and incubated at 37° C. for 30 min to 1 h. Following the incubation, 5 ul TNFα (final concentration 100 ng/ml) was added to the cells and the samples were incubated overnight. The next day, cellular levels of ATP was determined using the Cell Titer-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability kit (available from Promega Corporation, Madison, Wis., USA). For example, L929 (FIG. 3A) or U937 (FIG. 3B) cells were treated with vehicle or 10 μM of Example 77. For example, L929 (FIG. 6A) or U937 (FIG. 6B) cells were treated with vehicle or indicated concentrations of the compound of Example 161. Viability was measured by quantitating cellular levels of ATP using the Cell Titer-Glo kit. All data are shown as means±standard deviation of the mean.
